Looking Forward: A Balanced Approach Thailand''s approach to energy transition reveals a pragmatic balancing of ambition with practicality. While committed to renewable energy expansion, industry
Although Thailand is a regional leader in renewable energy, its use of energy storage is nascent. EGAT undertook some studies on the potential for energy storage and is piloting three battery energy storage installations. One is located alongside a solar project in Mae Hong Son Province to improve power supply stability.
The plan aims to improve energy efficiency and enhance energy security in Thailand. Thailand does not plan to issue new permits for coal-fired power plants and will instead focus on renewable energy sources: solar, biomass/biogas, and wind. Thailand seeks to reduce emissions through carbon capture, utilization, and storage.
Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW. Interestingly, this allowed generators to sign semi-firm power purchase agreements (PPAs) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) with minimum availability guarantees. Many solar projects in Thailand have non-firm PPAs in place due to a lack of storage on site.
Thailand’s 2024 power development plan (PDP) aims to increase renewable energy use, highlighting the importance of BESS alongside solar panels and wind turbines. This could create new business opportunities for entrepreneurs if prices decrease or new technologies emerge for stationary batteries.
This is partly due to a lack of clarity on how battery storage fits into existing electricity infrastructure. In 2022, the Thai government approved 24 BESS projects, all of which were located alongside solar operations. Their total combined storage capacity was 994 MW.
Thailand does not plan to issue new permits for coal-fired power plants and will instead focus on renewable energy sources: solar, biomass/biogas, and wind. Thailand seeks to reduce emissions through carbon capture, utilization, and storage. The plan aims to deploy smart generation, dispatch, transmission, and grid solutions.
